As of this writing, strong south winds are buffeting with near gale-force winds. FOLKS, this the longest time I’ve ever seen Rollover Pass in a fishless funk. Oh, I’ve seen the cut go from good to bad back to good in only a few days, but NEVER a week long siege of nothingness. The bait is here, finger mullet, live shrimp, shad, and crabs, but the fish aren’t here, although there’s plenty of hard head catfish to keep anglers busy catchin, cussin, and fussin, but no quality fish such as redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. I don’t have the answer, only Ma nature has. Guess we’ll have to wait her out until she decides to turn em loose. (Special Note: Check Miss Nancy’s Bait Camp on Facebook for daily fish photos update)
